Reducing the covid19 death risk - the role of rapid weight loss

The coronavirus has caused massive disruption throughout 2020.

We are finally seeing a slow return to a new normal, however, covid19 is still killing many people in the UK and worldwide.

The long-term effects of this pandemic are unknown but emerging coronavirus data is now painting a stark picture for those who are infected....


If you are male, type 2 diabetic and are from a BAME demographic then you are at a much greater risk of severe outcomes from a covid19 infection.

The death rate for these individuals is much higher than the average death rate for the whole population and in this blog we look into these figures, postulate why and look at what can be done.

Why is BMI still used?

What are the advantages of using BMI?

BMI is constantly under-fire from critics, many proposing the Hip-to-Waist ratio as a better means of assessing obesity and excess weight. Put a BMI chart up, however, and we are ALL compelled to take a look:

Did you manage to resist looking at your BMI? If so why?

A seemingly simple question such as "Why BMI?" requires a much longer answer than expected.

Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of understanding on even where BMI originated from.
There are many advantages to using BMI and this article explains the critical role it plays in obesity research and day-to-day monitoring of people's weight.

HOW HAND-WASHING TECHNIQUE CAN HELP IMPROVE WEIGHT LOSS

Do you know how to wash your hands properly?  

Do you use the correct hand-washing technique each and every time?

You may think you are a hand-washing angel, but we found a fascinating article in The Conversation with the surprising subject:

“Most people don’t wash their hands properly – here’s how it should be done”

The article triggered an interesting idea, using hand-washing technique as a means to explain both the needs and failures in commonly adopted methods of weight loss and weight management.

There are definite parallels between weight loss and hand-washing. Both dieting and hand-washing have obvious needs and sometimes failures and it is these parallels that we explore in our blog.

This is some critical dieting information, and some very interesting reading....

PHARMACY HAS A SAFE & EFFECTIVE WEIGHT LOSS SOLUTION FOR WORLD’S FATTEST MAN

The “World’s fattest man” is begging for NHS help to save his life according to a current news item in the Mirror newspaper by Adam Aspinall.  



He has already had a gastric bypass, the most drastic of weight loss surgeries available, yet has regained considerable weight.

With further help necessary, does the NHS have any further weight loss options available and can they afford it?


This article explores how people like the world's fattest man, carrying harmful, significant amounts of excess weight and addicted to food, can get help from their local pharmacy.
Pharmacy can offer anyone with excess weight a gold standard approach to weight loss and weight management, and at no cost to the NHS.

Pharmacy offers a safe and effective way to lose weight

How do you select your diet choice?

Do you prefer to make online purchases for everything from cosmetics to food? 

Having stumbled across a website for weight loss using a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). It is of real concern that this on-line diet company is promoting itself as a much better alternative than their perceived competitors, including Lipotrim, a Gold Standard Diet.

What concerned me was their emphasis on the lack of a requirement for monitoring, their diet being a simple transaction to purchase diet formulas with no face-to-face support. In the case of Lipotrim, monitoring by a healthcare professional comes as standard, always through a supervising doctor or pharmacist. The insistence of monitoring by a healthcare professional when following the Lipotrim programme, they suggest, is a great reason for ordering their diet on-line.

It is inconvenient to have to visit a pharmacy or a doctor’s practice isn’t it?     

After all, all you need is a diet shake or a diet bar and you can lose weight?

DNP Diet pill deaths - Lipotrim predicted the future

DNP or 2,4-dinitrophenol is a lethal compound and not fit for human use

When it comes to weight loss, one of the single most dangerous things to do is to use DNP diet pills. DNP is lethal, with no safe dose possible and has no known antidote.

This latest blog post from Lipotrim UK delves further into what is DNP, how does DNP work and how pharmacy healthcare professionals can tackle the subject of DNP use and DNP toxicity.

Pharmacy is perfectly placed to offer effective weight management services, such as our highly effective diet, the Lipotrim Weight Management Programme.
